Maya MEL Script - Key Mover

Script that moves all de keys of each selected object an specific number of frames. It helps to create a sequence movements.

button -label "Close" -command ("deleteUI -window Desplaza1");
showWindow;

// Secuencia de Cerecer

2DGIF 2 3D

This is an script for 3D Studio Max v5 or near that. It takes a simple GIF image and analizes by colors, creates a 3d mesh with the differents heights depending on the pixels colors.




For example these low res GIF image like the map of Santiago de Chile.
Creates a mesh with altitude information.
Then the image can be set as material o color the vertex with the same information.
